Raising funds

I live in a society where every constituent needs enhancement, raising funds and getting donations for autism is not so easy in a place like this, since there are more critical medical areas that need attention. Autism awareness is not much established in the community or due to the ancient belief that autism is untreatable people don’t understand the urgency or importance of the treatment and therapies required for these children. Hence autism remains an issue which is pushed behind.

Maybe due to these beliefs or the myths that surround Autism some parents disapprove when autistic children attend normal schools. And where there’s a lack for normal education the question of a special school remains a question. Mostly donations and aid are received to non-profit organizations set up for serving the needy children but I wonder whether these donors follow up on their kind gesture to lend a helping hand was well received? Some of these organizations receive help from many well wishers but their facilities and services remain the same without any improvement. I also believe that in order to provide for larger number of recipients, lending to organizations is the best option but they need to make sure advantage is not taken from someone’s inability and turned into someone else’s ability.

I’m mother of this special child, to whom someone special with autism is dedicated to. Together we are struggling through our journey to find a light which may lead us in the right direction and show us a straight path ahead and start counting the milestones. It is our misfortune that we do not have possibility of providing the necessary therapy and schooling for my child.
